Cancer is first surgically removed first and then treated with medicine. Corruption too must first be surgically removed by dropping those that a Board of Cricket can easily see is suspect. Their investigation & prosecution can follow for a more permanent cure.
The selection committee does not need any conviction to drop such players as are prima-facie guilty. Such as the pre-determined no-balls. Drop them pronto. Once such decisive no-nonsense action is carried out, out will come the skeletons when such players will spill the beans on the others involved, and so on.
There must be a real and present FEAR in the minds of cricketers who have now shown the world that they will circumvent every gentle action that Boards have taken since Cronje was put in the dock.
Like terrorism, Naxalism, Corruption is a cancer that grows unchallenged. Thats only because the Boards themselves are corrupt – see the BCCI and its gradual implosion. The PCB has a history of implosions. This ‘caution’ to players not to talk to the Majeed brothers is nothing but trying to fool the cricketing public.
But isn’t that exactly Governments and Cricket Boards do, 24/7 ? Fool the public?
